Abstract: In Ehrhart theory, the

h^{*}

-vector of a rational polytope often provide insights into properties of the polytope that may be otherwise obscured. As an example, the Birkhoff polytope, also known as the polytope of real doubly-stochastic matrices, has a unimodal

h^{*}

-vector, but when even small modifications are made to the polytope, the same property can be very difficult to prove. In this paper, we examine the

h^{*}

-vectors of a class of polytopes containing real doubly-stochastic symmetric matrices.

Summary: In Ehrhart theory, the \(h^*\)-vector of a rational polytope often provides insights into properties of the polytope that may be otherwise obscured. As an example, the Birkhoff polytope, also known as the polytope of real doubly-stochastic matrices, has a unimodal \(h^*\)-vector, but when even small modifications are made to the polytope, the same property can be very difficult to prove. In this paper, we examine the \(h^*\)-vectors of a class of polytopes containing real doubly-stochastic symmetric matrices.
